Reading
|
Reading is one of my favourite hobbies, and so important to keep up with during lockdown! Reading can transport you into your own imaginary world, and teach you so many new things. On this page, I'm going to share ways that you can continue reading at home, and book recommendations from myself and the rest of the class. Please let me know if you've read any fantastic books that you would like to recommend to others |
